[edit] Reorganizing this article
Seems this needs to be simplified to match the style used by List of Arrested Development Episodes and List of Six Feet Under episodes. Plot summaries should be cut down to a single sentence or so, with everything else moved to the article page about that specific episode. In this way, as information about each episode is expanded it will already be in its proper place.RoyBatty42 01:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds great. The first 17 really need it. - Peregrine Fisher 01:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Went ahead and created wiki links for each episode. Ironically, as an example/template I used episode #17. It's only meant as a placeholder until someone can flesh it out (finish the summary, add production details, perhaps even insert an info box and maybe even a screen shot) RoyBatty42 02:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- I did a bit more to the template. I guess I can upload screenshots if you will do the pages (I'm a bit lazy). - Peregrine Fisher 02:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, nicely done! I've added a few more entries, but I'm trying not to sucked into this more than I already am LOL. Guess I should make a "copy and paste template" that I can then quickly slap into place so you can drop in the screenshots, etc. I get slowed down having to shorten those summaries.RoyBatty42 05:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
SUMMARIES - I suggest that all summaries be kept to 3 lines or less, preferably 2. Just need to capture the essense of the episode and if a reader needs more info then they open the link to the episode RoyBatty42 00:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
Here's a partial list of episode titles that will require redirects on the articles that aren't actually those episodes (I'm sure there's a copy/wikipedia term for this):
That Old Black Magic
Rhapsody in Blue
Through the Looking Glass
The Way We Weren't
Beware of Dog
Won't Get Fooled Again
The Locket
Eat Me"
A Perfect Murder
Unrealized Reality
Mental as Anything

[edit] Airdates
Following wikipedia's guidelines, it would seem that the airdates need to be changed to American system of month, date, year as Farscape was made primarily for American television. RoyBatty42 05:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 2nd Season Templates Up
Just finished creating the templates for the 2nd season episodes. Please retain the use of the [[2001 in television|2001]] (2001 for example only, use appropriate years) convention. Otherwise, you just have random links that really mean nothing (ie, month and date). RoyBatty42 20:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pop Culture References and Allusions section??
I was thinking about adding a ==Pop Culture References and Allusions== section to each article, as it would be useful to both non-English speaking and non-American info seekers. Each one is full of such references RoyBatty42 18:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's kind of a no no here at wikipedia. I'd like the sections myself, but people will say it's original research unless it has a reference to to a review or something that mentions each allusion. With cancelled shows, it's hard to find good references. - Peregrine Fisher 18:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
That's wrong - just look at arrested development's episode guides. Plus, the TV.com entries have a section for it (along with quotes and trivia). And I'm sure I saw another site with Farscape episodes listed that had an even more extensive listing for references and allusions RoyBatty42 18:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not going to stop you. I'm just telling you what I've seen; Smallville had a ton of allusions until someone objected. I voted keep myself, but in the end they were deleted. Some shows still have them, but they're slowly being removed from wikipedia. I guess I'm just saying be careful how much time you put into it, becuase if the wrong person sees it, it will probably be removed. Also, what TV.com does has no effect on what's allowed here. They are a wiki, but they have different rules. - Peregrine Fisher 19:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
As with most things, moderation is the key. Besides, each episode only makes a few references if any. As to TV.com - that was meant as a response to your contention that "With cancelled shows, it's hard to find good references." With TV.com, there is at least one source for these references/allusions so that they are not original research. QED RoyBatty42 19:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I see what you're saying. The problem is that because TV.com is a wiki, it's not considered a reliable source. One thing I forgot, if the trivia and allusions are put into paragraph form in the lead instead of under a "Trivia" section, it makes it a lot harder for people to delete them. - Peregrine Fisher 20:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 3rd Season Episode Templates Up
So, have at'em! LOL RoyBatty42 18:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia in episode summaries
You know, trivia really doesn't belong in episode summaries - it should go in the episode's main page instead. I cleaned it out of the article already. 134.121.249.26 07:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, but if you are going to do that you need to either move the material to this page or, more preferably, move it to the page that was already created for that specific episode. RoyBatty42 18:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Farscape Undressed
shouldn't "Farscape Undressed" be its own section in between season two and three seeing as its not an episode --88wolfmaster 22:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
